MALE
31aro wS-feDITOR: 'Your paper on-'April a iwa6 clearly in bad
taste. In ithis issue the male body was shown throughout the
paper (especially in the sports pages) in such a way as to
exploit their bodies as sex objects. We are presently presidept
and vide president of MALE (Men Against Legalized
Exploitation). MALE is an organization-composed of men who
are sick |and tired of being used by females for "one night
stands." iWe are tired of women picking'us up at parties and
then almpst forcing us to commit' illicit sex with them (even
though vie aren't married!) We are tired of women using us and
then bragging to all their girlfriends how “easy" we were. We
are tired fo girls trying to get us drunk at every party just to use
us to fulfill their sinful physical desires. No longer will we let
girls justj think of us as sex objects. Yes girls, boys are not just
pretty faces, they Inave minds too.
MALE! members are men who look for girls with good
looking minds. We don't want girls with big
are these girls good for? We want our girlfriends to have IQ’s
over 130 and an All U Cum of at least 3.5. This is a type of girl
who you can go! to bed with and have !a good intellectual
conversation instead of illicit sex. We|do not believe in
premarital sex because as everyone knows, a man is impotent
until he gets married.
We are totally against the Human Relations Ordinance now
before the State College fiorough Council,because we believe
it was conceived! by hoiffiy females whojwant legalized for
nication iih their own apartments. If this law is passed no man
will be safe from seductive females who want him to room with
them next year. Please State College Borough Council, on the
sacred ness of Mom’s Apple Pie! —Defeat this immoral law.
If you are a man and you are tired of being used by females,
and would like to be a member of MAIIE, please take the
following action: Send two unused Trojans and a dictionary to
your girlfriend telling her you are "no longer that type of guy"
and instruct her that if her All U doesn’t risfe appreciably within
the nextjterm, you will-no longer wish to court Tigr.

’Grjassy knoll '
TO EDITOR: I and six other local people attended this last
Saturday a conference on the CIA held in the Yale law school.
Throughout the day there was continuous reference to the
"grassy knoll.” I did not understand the reference until later in
the afternoon.
At about four in the afternoon Bob Groden, Bob Salzman,
Col. Fletcher Prouty, and Mark Lane made a presentation on
political assassination centering on the assassination of
President Kennedy. They presented many facts which I will not
go intq lor the sake of brevity. At the end of the program The
Zapruder film was shown.. This is the film taken of the
assassination that was shown to the Warren Commission and
most recently on TV. In thebeginning we see Kennedy come
around! the corner and pass behind a sign. While behind the
sign, li£ is hit in the back with a bullet that went in so little
that it Jvas knocked out during cardiac massage. After he came
out frojn the sign another bullet was fired,'taking off part of his
head, knocking him back and to the side. It is obvious that he
was shot from the front and not from the back as it would be in
the case of where Oswald was supposed to have shot him
from. Then Connally is shot. We see people running towards a
grassy! knoll in front of the President’s car, not toward j the
warehouse behind the President’s car where Oswald is sup
posed fto be firing from. When the picture of the grassy knoll is
blown jup we see a man in a hat in the military prone position
holding a rifle. j '
Cojnmission from the very-beginning assumed
that Oswald was the only assassin. In' the beginning they
divided up into committees the first of which was Why did

Oswald do it? There are‘s,ooo ways to view the film, frame by
frame, blow ups and such. Yet the Warren Commission only
viewed 21, some of-them not pertinent to the case. I could go
on but in the name of brevity, again, I will not.
It Is hard for me, after seeing the film, to believe that the
Oswald theory is true. It is equally hard to believe what I must
if the Oswald theory is false. That is that, at least, there was a
massive cover-up. of the second assassin by government
agencies such as the FBI and the CIA, by the Warren Com
mission, and the press. The even more fearful question is why
did they do it?. *
The seven of us who went to the conference are willing to

conference such as CIA involvement in Chile, Vietnam, Por

on. Here are our names and phone! numbers. Joshua Rubin

One more important fact is worth mentioning. The second
ranking member of the Warren Commission was Rep. Gerald
Ford, now the first unelected president of the United States.

Peaches and cream
TO THE EDITOR: I’d like to thank Earl Davis on such a
pessimistic outlook on life. I can understand how he came to
‘ his conclusion when the only newsworthy material is about
anger and-frustration. Rarely does one see an article ori love
and understanding; they are not "hot” items for news.
It is terribly unfortunate to see people become victims to
anger and frustration. However, a little understanding and love
could have prevented the incidents. Call mean optimist, but I
just can’t see the world revolve entirely on anger. Man was not
created by anger. Not many can say they were conceived by
angered or frustrated parents. It all depends on where one
looks. Even on one of those rare, sunny days here in Happy
Valley, one| can .see love and understanding, just look at the
people’s faces; you don’t see too many frowns. I just can’t see
anger when’ people are playing baseball, flying kites, throwing
frisbees, orjjust sitting out on the grass. j
Maybe love doesn’t conquer all, but it sure doesn't hfirt v A!
little love and understanding may make life a little easier Jcr
bear, because even I have to admit life, unfortunately, is not all
"peaches and cream."

TO THE EDITOR: Joanne Little, an indigent 20-year-old black,
will go on trial on April I.4th in North Carolina for first degree
murder for the alleged slaying of Clarence Alligoodj 62-year
olcT-yvhite prison guard. Little had been held in Beaufort County
tail -for three months.pending an appeal on a breaking and
entering conviction.
It is reported that Alligood entered Little’s jail cell on the
night of Aug. 27, 1974, not wearing shoes, and carrying the ice
pick he normally kept in his desk drawer.
Later Alligood was discovered stabbed to death by the ice
pick and naked from the waist down. The county Medical
examiner found clear evidence of recent sexualactivity. '
Little claims that she stabbed the jailer while resisting a rape
attempt. Her bond, set at $lOO,OOO, was haid by a national civil
rights group and she is "free" awaiting trial.
A first degree murder conviction carries a mandatory death
penalty in North Carolina. The Southern Poverty Law Center
reports that the state medical examiner was prepared to
support Joanne’s story but was not allowed to testify before
the grand jury. _

Fund. Incj, P.O. Box 1003, Durham, North Carolina.

Territorial claim
By RIAD AJAMI
graduate-business administration
Mr. Falk's statement in yesterday’s
Collegian, about the possibility for a
“Jordanian-lsraeli" dialogue to resolve
what he labeled as “the-territorial claim
of the Palestinian people,” is a sad
comment on the state of the art of
political literacy. For Jiis statement
representative of Israeli arrogance
—and more basically the unfolding
recent events seems to call into serious
question the capacity of the Israeli’s to
Collegian forum
learn from their previous mistakes, and
to chart new paths and alternatives for a
viably peaceful Middle East .
Repeated victories for Israel on the
battlefield have not, and never will,
produce the security and peace that
Israel should want. War and the
preparations for wars inevitably per
meate all aspects of combatant society,
such as the Israeli state, thus distorting
its morality. A society that makes war
one of its fundamental concerns
eventually caves under, succumbs to
arrogance, and inevitably becomes
morally numb. The editor of New
Outlogk, an Israeli journal, wrote “over
the years, we have become much
stronger militarily. But have we at the
same time become weakeFmorally?”
In time the Israeli population has
learned to rationalize the displacement
of a people and a nation, the bulldozing
of Arab homes, and the denial to
Palestinian? Arabs of the right to
nationhood, and self-determination on'
their own land. The quest for
"security”—meaning all Arab lands
* — becomes an obsession requiring
expanding boundaries, imperial posture,
and military domination? Annexationist 1
and officii Israeli circles deny the
existence of the Palestinian and their
right to their homes. Mr. Falk’s
statement is a reflection of this arrogant
attitude and mentality.
The future for Israel, in a democratic
secular form, lies in peace with her
neighbors. Effective as her armed forces
might be they can never bring an entire
nation to its knees. Its only hope and
guarantee is an Arab people that are

secure in peace, so that they will be able
to reciprocate with the same.
The central question that has yet to be
resolved in the Middle East, and in which
the Israelf in particular, have a vested
interest can be simply put. Will tha
future prevail—a radically different one
at that from the one envisioned by the
present military machine of Israel? Or
will it be irresponsibly, nihilistically and
arrogantly sacrificed? Can the Israeli
people, and government if it is possible,
construct new visions and relationships
so as to see the rights of the Palestinian
people?
Survival and justice for all in the
Middle East are dependent upon the
extent to which the,lsi;aeli can visualize
■these new alternatives, sever their ties
with the and engage in creative
discourse which hopefully might
unleash their humane tendencies.
However, Mr. Falk’s statement suggests
that my hope is ill-founded, for I might
be asking a lot of the Israeli society.
Some simple yet important lessons
are in order for Israel; to ignore them is
to once again court disaster. Military
solutions in the Middle East are
misnamed. They have so far failed to
solve anything. This is a lesson that the
Israeli ought to have learned by now. An
imperial and colqnial posture on the part
of the Israelis is. dangerous and self
defeating. Domination 1 breeds resent
ment, hatred and rebellion. No one can
acquire other people’s territory by force
and then expect a peaceful existence
Though recent diplomatic maneuvers
and events relegated them to the peri
phery, the Palestinians are still there and
any meaningful and just settlement must
address their rights and future. An
engineered peace—Super K scheme
included—that'forgets the
1 is inevitably doomed; more basically it
would be unjust and unrealistic. If a
Palestinian state is what the
Palestinians want, a legitimate and
viable state ought to be at the core of a
future settlement. Puppet regimes
(Hussein included) acceptable to the
Israelis will not do. By the nature of
things, the Resistance .movement is the
embryonic Palestinian state. This is a
priori for a peaceful and viable Middle
East. Israel better take notice.
